As I played Gary Grisby's World at War this morning and was trying to stem the Japanese horde while building up America's industrial power house I looked at my watch and thought that the phrase "One more turn" has got to be one of the biggest obstacles of productivity!

It's funny how tastes run different. I'm just the opposite from your view! It's what makes the World go Around.....

Oh no, I mean in turn based games in general, not just that one!

Yeah...it's a great feeling having a game that gets you like that...but it can lead to sleep deprivation (for you and your spouse), lack of motivation at work and the gym and a suffering love life

I remember laughing when I bought an early incarnation of Empire that warned on the box cover that the game was addictive. I thought that was just funny advertising/hype. Little did I know it was a valid warning at the time! (I later learned it was added because of actual complaints from college students who beta tested and/or just plain played an even earlier incarnation of the game).

That is new info to me. Have you visited Classic Empire page yet?

That's where I got some of the info, while I was in a nostalgic mood last year...

Some people at Caltech disliked Empire - even blaming it for a couple students flunking out because they got addicted to the game and neglected their studies. One even threatened me because of this (incredible, hmm?)
